ST. LOUIS, May 4--The trial OF Ex-
press Messenger David s. Frotheringham
was resumed in the Criminal Court to-
day. Conductor Spengle was recalled
and testified that the messenger was
tied to stay, and when he was released
his limbs were numb. He said that
Frotheringham told him that he
heard a knocking at the door
when the train stopped at Mineke,
and did not respond because at that
time the robber had him covered
with revolver. The defense brought
out the fact that the messenger was
compelled to accept passengers in the
express car, when ON the order OF his
superiors. The conductors testimony
showed that the robbery was not com.
mitted in this city, and the defense
moved that the case be thrown out oil
Court. Judge Normile gave as bis
opinion that the robbery did not occul
in this oity, and consequently it was ou
OF the jurisdiction of his Court, and ac-
cordingly dismissed. The case will nov
be carried to st. Louis county.

If you have q kindly feeling for
